Flat figures?
Did you not notice the lady lumps attached to her torso?
I dont know which I like better.... MMMmmmmmm
"We're gonna dance to one song, and one song only: "Lady Humps" by the Blackeyed Peas. 'What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk? I’m a get you, get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady humps.'"
"I'm not skating to anything with references to lady humps. I don't even know what that means!"
"No one knows what it means, but it's provocative!"
"No, it's not, it's gross!"
"It gets the people going!"
Amazing, but I can't say I like the stand on that TV.
The chick is a nice bonus, though. :]
That's not a TV, it's a panel. It goes inside a TV.
Do they sell regular LCD panels exclusively? If so, where?
I want this now.
which one??
The monitor. I already gots one of the others.
Do want. Although the stand looks like crap, if I'd be in possession of one of those, I'd wall-mount it anyway.
I'd wall-mount both of them.
It's only a panel demo, not a full TV.
Good god, how wide is an HDMI connector?
You'd be able to mount that with some sello tape or pritt stick.
The screen?

My first post to Engadget is a useful one, I feel.
Am I the only one who thinks that the picture within the TV frame has been photoshopped into it? When I look at the high res pictures it kinda looks funny, and the EXIF data for the pictures say "Creation software: Adobe Photoshop CS2 Windows".
My First Moniker:
I think they use PS to add the image to the TV screen
Yep, the screen image is photoshopped. And poorly.
Most product shots go through Photoshop at one point or another just to correct levels and colour, so looking at what software the pic went through isn't a smoking gun.
The tits are real though.
Can anyone clarify, when it says "92% of the NTSC colour gamut", is that good? Strikes me as being quite poor if it can't even display all the colours of an NTSC transmission, yet alone an HD signal but I openly admit I'm not technically knowledgeable enough in this area to really properly assess the performance of this tv.
NTSC color gamut is the maximum theoretical range of colors specified by the NTSC TV standards.
Typical CRT, LCD, and plasma TVs can produce about 70% of the NTSC color gamut, better ones may get close to 80%. Depending on the type of backlight used, a LCD display can produce a wider range of colors than traditional sets. Like many models that use a Wide Color Gamut Cold Cathode Florescent Light (WCG-CCFL), this LED-backlit unit can produce over 90% of NTSC color. Sony's Triluminous™ LED backlight (which is used in their Qualia and 70XBR3 models) can produce 105% of the NTSC color gamut.
so, they are producing colors that don't exist?
That is pretty cool but isn't there such a thing as too thin?
I feel like this thing shouldn't be in households with kids running around.
If you have kids you can't afford this TV ;)
Unless your kids work for cash...
It will probably have a case built around it with all the gizmos needed to process the tv signals and speakers etc. Will result in a smaller tv than currently available though
That TV gave me a raging hard-on!!
I don't know about the TV, but the chick standing next to it...
If just the TV gives you a willy, you might need to reanalyze your priorities...
Women come and go. Tech love lasts.....er..umm for 6 months?
"Tech love lasts.....er..umm for 6 months?"
So woman and tech aren't that much different!
That thing is too thin... I feel it would break if misused.
Now about that monitor... hmm...
it could blend, probably not great.
well, your not supposed to screw on it. hang it on the wall and leave the damn thing alone! Pervert!
That is just soo sexy and cool! I love the look!
Its actually normal for any advertizer to photoshop a "simulated" image because its near impossible to capture a good screen (especially in HD) because cameras pick up the refresh of the screen where our eyes filter that out.

there is the wallpaper they are using
WOW, Soon if you walk to fast past a TV, you'll knock it over!
Why would you want such a TV, u'd be sooo afraid it break, it would cost you a fortune and I dont think a couple of inches is space-saving
well, until I can afford the panel, I'll just take one of the girls...
It looks like you could cough on that and it would break.
HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL.
Thickness..not thinness.
Oh, and enough of all those "I likem like mah women's chests, flat" jokes.
The only things flatter than the panel (and model's chest) around here are the jokes - mine included.
I would love to have a TV that thin as long as it has all the component inputs / outputs that I require.
Please please please stop using the word 'thin' to describe the thickness of something. If something is thin, it is thin by virtue of the fact that other things similar to it are thick. Its units of measurement describe its thickness. Saying something is .39 inches 'thin' sounds ridiculous. It's .39 inches thick. Does that make it thick? Certainly, compared to things that are thinner than that. Does that make it thin? Certainly, compared to things that are thicker.
Enough with this feel-good crap. It's just a word.
Uhh.. chill, Bevis.
"thick"? "thin"? My vote is a return to ye goode olde TV dimensions of length, width and depth. So, it's "0.39 inches deep" in my olde worlde. And note that there's no hyphen either! My God, what is ye worlde coming to...
Holy crap that's a thing model. Plus 92% gamut? T3H SWEETZ0R5
Wow, look totally fake except for the girl. Look like some amateur welded this together and badly photoshopped the image into it.
I actually have a question the TV, or more specifically TV this thin in general, is it even possible to wall mount it? I know with current wall mount you use screws to hold the TV to the mount. But with TVs this thin, can you put the screws in far enough to hold the TV?
dayum! that things thinner than the iPhone! lol
Since when is the iPhone thin?
umm since its the thinner than the blackjack and q, im gonna go with its thin.
My jaw dropped when i saw this!
no
it's not a tv. not a panel.
it's photoshopped fake.
look at about the corner where she pinches.
you can find a gap between a panel itself and picture.
and picture is too clearer however panel is blur because of focal of depth.
i hate to be the only not talking about the tv
butt that asian chick is HOT...
Damn mama
come top papa, yeehaw
